Some have blamed Trump for propping up unelectable candidates that cost Republicans the Senate and limited their gains in the House.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP divisions also portray fierce frustrations within the party that Trump\u2019s presidential announcement \u2014 which he delivered Tuesday night in a prime-time speech at Mar-a-Lago \u2014 came before the results of some midterm races are final. Some Republicans are concerned it will hurt the GOP\u2019s chances in a Senate runoff election in Georgia, where voters will decide Dec. 6 whether Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) or Republican Herschel Walker will be in the upper chamber next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the timing was off. I mean, for many of us, we\u2019re just still trying to figure out \u2014 we still have races that aren\u2019t declared yet,\u201d said Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), whose razor-thin victory in Arizona was called only Monday. \u201cI thought that was a bit in<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others have been encouraged by last week\u2019s strong reelection performance from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is eyeing a White House run of his own in 2024, and are waiting for more candidates to jump into the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s nice is that the Republicans actually have a bench for once,\u201d said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.), who emphasized that she\u2019s waiting for guidance from her constituents.<\/p>\n<p>Still others simply declined to weigh in.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who came closer-than-expected to winning the New York governorship this cycle with the help of Trump\u2019s endorsement, would not comment on the former president\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said his focus right now is \u201con the Speaker\u2019s race in the House of Representatives and our rules package,\u201d while Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) said his priorities are also elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, I am focused on Herschel Walker right now, and getting him elected in the Senate,\u201d Carter said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also side-stepped questions of a Trump endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys are crazy,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Launching his presidency Tuesday night, Trump used his hour-plus speech to tout the achievements of his administration; hammer the track record of President Biden; blast the FBI for searching his Florida residence over the summer; and resurface his various gripes regarding China, including unfounded accusations that interference by Beijing cost him the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Returning the MAGA movement to power, he said, is the only way to salvage the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always have known that this was not the end. It was only the beginning of our fight to rescue the American dream,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was quickly hailed by Trump\u2019s strongest supporters, who see him as Republicans\u2019 best hope of winning the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think President Biden has done a terrible job of leading this country,\u201d said Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), \u201cand I look forward to President Trump doing a much better job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s early entrance in the 2024 contest is particularly prickly for McCarthy, who is vying to become Speaker next year but so far lacks the support from conservatives \u2014 including some of Trump\u2019s closest allies \u2014 to win the gavel.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy has taken pains to remain in Trump\u2019s good graces, even following last year\u2019s attack on the Capitol, but has not endorsed the 45th president\u2019s bid to become the 47th.<\/p>\n<p>Putting pressure on the Republican leader, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a former head of the far-right Freedom Caucus who challenged McCarthy\u2019s leadership bid this week, is already throwing his support behind Trump. Members of the GOP leadership team, including Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), are doing the same. And Jason Miller, a former senior adviser to Trump, warned last week that McCarthy\u2019s failure to endorse the former president would cost him the Speakership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think that Kevin McCarthy needs to \u2014 if he wants to have a chance at being Speaker \u2014 he needs to be much more declarative that he is supporting President Trump,\u201d Miller said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a MAGA-centric caucus for the Republicans in the House and even for the Senate. We need leadership to match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Trump is the first Republican to officially throw his hat into the 2024 ring, other members of the party are expected to join him for what will likely be a competitive and contentious primary showcasing candidates from all corners of the increasingly fractured GOP. Some are becoming increasingly vocal about their wishes to move beyond Trump.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ll have better choices,\u201d former Vice President Mike Pence told The New York Times on Tuesday, before Trump\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Pence himself is also eyeing a 2024 run, joining a long and growing list that also includes DeSantis, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a list that encompasses the anti-Trump wing of the party, MAGA-aligned figures and those who have tried to straddle that GOP divide that is becoming more pronounced.<\/p>\n<p>Some Republicans on Capitol Hill are surveying the party\u2019s roster before making picks for 2024.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not ready to make any type of endorsement, but I will say that in terms of the Republicans that I represent, I think they would be happy with President Trump, they would be happy with DeSantis. I also think that there\u2019s other people like Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, that are good contenders,\u201d Malliotakis told The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually have a bench to choose from, and I\u2019ll be going back to my district, talking to my constituents,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Schweikert said he is \u201clooking forward to a really competitive presidential primary.\u201d Pressed on who his favorite is in the race, the Arizona Republican said, \u201cI want to see a bunch of people earn it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a meritocracy. Go battle for it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Meanwhile, the former president\u2019s closest congressional allies are sticking by him, lauding the much-anticipated announcement and expressing confidence in his chances of landing the White House for a second term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it was a great announcement,\u201d said Stefanik, the chair of the House GOP conference. \u201cI think he\u2019s in a really strong position to be the nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), another loyal Trump supporter, echoed that message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited,\u201d he said.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
